I wasn’t comparing them, looks like you are though. I don’t believe in a sliding scale of atrocity.

A small number have been killed by terrorists

Nothing to see here, just accept it and move on, in fact you should budget for a small annual headcount of children that will be unfortunately killed by terrorists, your fault for being Zionists anyway

a much larger number have been systematically killed by a 21st century military which, should, be adhering to international laws.

It’s not the fact it’s a military doing it, to add insult it’s a Zionist Jewish military, which makes it so much worse.

Otherwise I would have been on here remonstrating about the Saudi Military killing children and causing famine in Yemen, except I didn’t. We’re only bothered about this because Israel is doing it.

Like I say, I don’t put a sliding scale on atrocities, or assign a number to what is acceptable or not.

Seems you do though.

Also, you know when things are are bad, when Nick Ferrari, from LBC, says it is now time to stopped sending UK weapons to Israel.

As I say, I don’t assign a scale, seems you have though.
